Looking for some downtime?

Kids? Or just your spouse?

Here at Minden Off-Road Park we get families of all different sizes and ages.

A new pool liner was installed late June 2022 and was opened shortly after that. It is only for those that are staying overnight. A brand new playground was purchased as well and is ready to enjoy. This was made possible due to your generous donations! 
Pool is open between June 1st and September 31st

Do you or your kids like to catch frogs, see turtles and explore nature? If so, go for a walk around the property to see multiple ponds, trails and rivers.

Own an Remote Control car? Bring them along, play on the rock ledges around the pool and playground or even attempt the trails if you like! 

Don't forget to look up on a clear night at the breathtaking stars above. The shooting stars you'll see will never disappoint.

Check out the Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve.

Here you will find a research facility and an education centre. It is a property where members of the community make their livelihood, and thousands of visitors make their day. It is a major force in the hardwood lumber industry, with three operating sawmills. It is 100,000 acres, 100 lakes, and millions of trees, and it is home to countless creatures.

Feel like learning some history?

 

Take a right out of our driveway and head toward Minden to visit the Minden Hills Museum & Heritage Village. This picturesque museum invites visitors to imagine what life was like 150 years ago back when Minden was a rough and tumble logging town.
The Heritage Village is made up of five historic buildings, moved here to preserve and celebrate Minden’s history. Come and explore Bowron House, a log cabin from the 1860s with a working woodstove, practice your spelling at Stanhope Schoolhouse from 1898 or view exhibits in the Stirling Bank building. Costumed interpreters run daily activities from June – August and the museum is open with displays and self-guided activities from May Victoria Day long weekend to October Thanksgiving weekend.
